hehe not me i think your talking about '4door sleeper'

what im going to do is call MV auto in adelaide, get them to send me out the necessary shift kit etc and then see if they can recommend somewhere local to install it for me.

from what i know they dont need to remove the autobox to install a shift kit, so all up including the shift kit it shouldnt cost more than about $450 (more if u want full synthetic fluid which ill be doing)

Ah sorry knore, me bad.

It seams there are a few ppl interested in this, it might be worth to try and organise a group buy?

I didn't know there was no need to get the box out to install the shift kit. What else would need to be done to freshen up the gearbox?

Ahh shit I forgot to send it... The plan was to wait till I got home rather than use the work email... I'll email myself a reminder and let you know either way...

FWIW I'd be keen on a group buy... I've been putting this off for ages...

Nedb: To install the shift kit, you only need to drop the pan... It's fairly fiddly if you only have wheel ramps - 100 times easier if you can get the car up on a hoist... Would probably be worth changing the filter while your in there... If you wanted to freshen the box up further, it would need to come out and be dissassembled. From there you could replace any clutch bands and check the rest of it out...

I've been in touch with Keas and I've asked about R33's as well. I'll keep this thread informed if you all like.

So far I can tell you that:

They are working on a shift kit at the moment.

It will be ready in about a month.

I think he said that R33 and R34 boxes are the same mechanically but I'm waiting on confirmation of that. It's a JATCO RE4R01A "and is OEM on any Mazda and Nissan RWD. A variant is also in Subaru's. It replaced the earlier model 3N71B and 4N71B JATCO in 1988 and ran until 2003."

I'm just confirming that he meant to write 1988 and not 1998 because my query was initially R34 related and 1998 is when R34's came out.

Cheers for the info Abo Bob... You seem to be one step ahead of us here so by all means, please keep us informed...

I can confirm that RE4R01A was made before 1998 as my 1993 R33 has a RE4R01A... It's listed on the build plate...

And yep they were in 300zx's, Pathfinders, 929's and a few others from memory...

Did they give you any indication on pricing?

Thinking out loud here...

I was abit sceptical that the RE4R01A came in the R32, as the hold / power / od features are different to the R33... But then I thought, if the same trans is in the R34's, which have the tiptronic control, then it's probably just the auto ECU's that are different...

Can someone with an auto 32 have a look under their bonnet at the blue build plate and confirm the model of auto for us please?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
